Tadpole identification?

[Kurt]

I am guessing spring peeper, possibly gray treefrog.

Wait. Do we have Gray Treefrogs up in northern-Maine?

In a word, no. You might want get your hands on Amphibians and Reptiles of New England by Degraaf and Rudis. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listi...condition=used

Thought so. *groan* I'd better start making plans on how to keep it from drowning then. (Mainly when it starts to go through metamorphosis but this will also be a problem for a cage set up later)

If its a spring peeper, worry not. They're treefrogs. Wood frogs, leopard frogs, and the other Ranids are some what aquatic, so again no worries. Now if its an Anaxyrus americanus, which I don't think it is, there is a good chance of it drowning.

Last time I had spring peeper they drowned. (Which was actually originally how I found this forum. I was trying to figure out what was going on with my tadpoles.)

When I made a thread about it you guys suggested that I empty out most of the water so that it could touch the ground with it's feet easily. (I did that but it still ended up drowning. Apparently the line between too much water and not enough is a thin one...)

I can defenitely 100% say that it does not look anything like a toad tadpole. Ussually toad tadpoles are dark brown or jet black. This looks like atreefrog tadpole to me. I see a ton of them in this place I used to see alot of frogs. I used to catch them. But I dont know how to get past the toadlet/froglet stage. xD
